- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- A first view of my homebuilt recumbent trike out of round ChroMoly -- A definite road dominator is in the throes of birth!!!
Total weight as you see it now is 32 pounds.
Rohloff / Schlumpf drivetrain,
700c rear wheel, 20 inch 451 fronts,
Hope Pro 20mm front hubs,
Velocity rims,
Aluminum handlebars,
Titanium steering rods,
Both TIG'ed and Mig'ed.
Awesome job, I like the way you made the frame. I have made three trikes myself all a little different but we’re a spin-off of the warrior. Li want to made a different one this time just looking for idea’s. Can’t wait to see it painted
that is the best design i have seen. Bravo
Not overselling it at all when you describe it as beautiful. It looks fantastic.
Very nice and sleek build. The best diy I have seen so far. And the best/most beautifully parts as well. Hope You enjoy it...
Kind regards ;-)
Beautiful job. Made 5 different bike 3 of them trikes. Working on another on right now going to be a little different. It will haves hub motor. Just getting parts now
This is a very nice trike, excellent workmanship. This is the only video on the channel and no reply has been made to the comments, I'm guessing that the guy isn't super into UA-cam.
It looks awesome amazing crafts there.
Really nice job ! I know the difficulty of working with round tubes. Very nice trike,hope you`ll enjoy it for long time :)
I just started listening and thought, wow, he sounds just like one of my drum heroes, Neil Peart. Like the trike though, great stuff.
Классная модель!!)) Сделаю себе такую!!))
I have front fenders on ebay that are full fenders. Also look at lognotching videos, he has tops. U might wanta weld in recessed hardpoints @ rear for panier and rear fender. Totally maintenance free trike u built.
I like your style, looks very clean. Explain the type of pipe
That's a great looking bent tadpole. I've looked at manufactures and the cost of a bent is through the roof and decided to throw my hat in with the AZ world. However, I need help with the front end caster and toe angles. The AZ plans states that there is no specific angle. Its all about using a file and lots of time. Well, five years ago, I was diagnosed with MS and I have no arm strength to sit and file all day long. I cant ride a bike because my balance is awful. The disease really did a number on my inner ear and gait. Can someone give me a hint?
That's lovely. I'd like to see some detail on the front end - especially the 'dropouts.'
Thanks. When I film the final product I will spend time showing all parts -- hopefully will be done in the next... whoops! almost jinxed myself -- let's just say hopefully soon.
The small diameter frame tubing and minimalist look is definitely sleek and lightweight, but it will flex under pedalling at speed making it fishtail (or tadpole tail). Not a safe feel. Round tubing flexes much more than square for a given size. I have a Greenspeed gt3 (cro-mo round) and a magnum big wheel (ally square) framed trikes. The gt3 is relatively scary at speed with side flex unless you time your head bobbing side to side to offset it. No such problem on the magnum. I'm planning a full suspension home build with a swingarm twice as wide at the pivot than at the axle, triangular swingarm for zero flex, and three frame tubes for a rigid triangle box section. I'll be able to use lighter tubing with this design and have zero flex.
Did you ever finish this? To me, the rear end looks like it needs some additional support. I'm curious as to if you added to the frame or not and have ridden without any issues. Nice work!
Great build
Really nice trike build! One of the best homebuilt trikesI have seen. Your seat looks much better than in the plans too. How did you do? Did you make a mold, then create in fiberglass? Thx
Nice build. Are you planning another video?
Nice work! 32lbs?! steel?! really cool speed trike
Very inteligente this design
Hey David
Did not make the seat -- got it off Ebay from Germany. Here is the seat -- it is the one on the left.

The welding is both TIG and MIG --TIG for the pretty parts and MIG for the areas that would not be seen but needed large strength.
Thanks for the comments.
sweet did you finish it??
hello i saw that the axel in the wheel is changing in a bigger axel , kan you tell how you dit this
Sweet, nice equipment.
Hello, I live in Brazil and I would like to know if you can send your design so that you can bend the tube used in the angles correctly????
Very nice.
Very cool. I am going the other direction with my atomic zombie plans. I'm making a twin frame 4130 3/4 by 1.5 inch rectangular main frame. ( not yet rolling but it is starting to look like something..
Do you have pictures or even better, video of it? Please share
Nice job. Looks fast. Gearing says it all. Welds are pretty snazzy. You marketing these bomb ass trikes any time soon?
I thought tig was the stronger process, but I know nothing. I paid top dollar for some tig welds that I later had to cut out and redo with mig welds. My tig welder person used too much heat and left too much slag inside my tubes such that I couldn't use the interior space for a security cable I designed. Where did you find that rear rim?
TIG is stronger but I wanted a extra amount of metal that attaches the bottom bracket shell to the frame and MIG is the better way to go to get that done. Strange but TIG does not have slag -- prolly with the higher heat the weld distorted the inside of the tube. The rear rim is a discontinued Velocity Deep V. Bought 6 off of Ebay awhile back. They are gorgeous -- look up "Velocity Deep V Flames" on google and you might get lucky. They are now pretty rare. Good luck.
Hi, are you selling these wonderful machines?
Hello, is there any more videos. i would like to build the same
Did you make the seat?
Is it ready now? I like CrMo!
Yeah... lets see it
You should call it the "Bent Benson special"
Be aware!
Now, your design is simple and elegant but it achieves these attributes at the expense of rider health. I explain. As with any recumbent bike (or trike), where the rider's back is held in place by the seat back of the bike, there is a rearward 'impulse' concentrated at the neck area of the rider every time the rear wheel traverses a bump, ridge etc in the road. After a period of riding, even on 'smooth' city streets, the cumulative effect of these neck 'jerks' causes some riders to experience headaches and neck strain. The likelihood of these unhealthy events - and permanent damage to the neck - increases with the rider's age, years of riding, road surface irregularities, etc. This is why rear suspension, especially, is so important for recumbents.
A challenge would be to incorporate a rear shock while producing an elegant, simple design for your trike.
Thanks. Unfortunately those details ruin the trike. But so helpfull to know. Is the suspension on the rear wheel the only way to prevent the damage from happening?
@@singlequak flatten the frame at the rear curve and put the suspension under the top of the seat. Not really necessary as that frame is very springy, by it's design.
Did you do the welding. Was it gig?
Nice trike man!
what did you use for the mid drive?
What kind of weld did you use?
Are there plans to update the drivetrain to multi speed or will it stay single speed?

It actually has 28 speeds! It is equipped with a Rohloff 14 speed Internal Gear Hub in the back and a 2 speed Schlumpf drive in the front.
Have you finished the trike? My son and I are going to build a Warrior ourselves.
+Bill Karoly My son and I are going to do one of these together. I have an idea for rear suspension design.
What is your idea Kevin come back here and let me know when you get it together!
Bill I may never build it. So here it is. I am busy with the same principle in automotive applications. Hinge the fork with a bushing. Then connect a spring or two springs which allow the rear wheel to travel backwards a little under the weight of the rider and the shocks from the roadway. Cover the springs with rubberized fabric.
Thanks for the reply!
@@kevinhornbuckle what if you used the rear triangle of a dual suspension mountain bike?
That thar bi-cyclin pilgrim sounds just like john Wayne. .
that's going to be light and fast.
It'll be springy and flex a lot, particularly on cornering fast and pedalling hard at speed. Spindly frames on trikes are scary to the point of dangerous. And the big rear wheel adding flex under side loading makes it worse. The springy frame will be smoother over potholes and rougher roads than many other non suspended trikes though. Basically it's a bike frame design used on a trike. Not ideal for side loading.

I don't think the use of the word "Horrendous" is suppose to be used to describe anything positive or wonderful. I do like your build.
That seat is $116.98 USD ! I can make one for a lot less. The parts for this must be in the thousands. Too rich for me. Thanks Mr. Money Bags, but no thanks.
With the Ventisit pad and headrest more like $299. Sure you can make a seat for very little money with plywood but I chose a different route. Different strokes for different folks...

For yourself I suppose it's satisfactory, but the welds are quite rough.
Perhaps a lot more welding practice needs to be done.
Yes, I am a certified welder 25 years.
Horrendously indeed
Bad camera..
Sleek - did you ever do a video of the complete finished unit?
